Reagan was there for their 3rd nuclear weapons summit.
Now, tell me is he going for a nuclear summit?
The last US president to visit Cuba was Coolidge in 1928. There is a reason.
Why is it incredible?

1972: Nixon makes historic visit to China"

"Gorbachev, Reagan, and Bush in New York City, December 1988. (Ronald Reagan Presidential Library)"
" In May 1988, standing in the middle of Red Square in Moscow, Reagan declared that the term “evil empire” belonged to “another era.”"
Are you kidding me that Obama in Cuba is "simply incredible"?? It's not, leaders go to other countries all the time.
So, he went there for something. Obama's going there for something. Nixon went to China to open up relations. There's no difference, it's diplomacy.
Reagan could have gone to Moscow for summits and stayed in his hotel, but no, he went out with the LEADER OF THE USSR to the main place in the country and had photo opportunities. Hmmmm.... was that necessary?
You can try and ignore this fact, but the President of the US is the main man in foreign affairs. Opening up relations with Cuba is the same as opening it up with China, or with relations with the USSR. There's no difference.
